Adjacent to this room is 'Beech', a family room, or kids' room, which benefits from a zip and link bed along with built-in bunk beds and an en suite shower room with twin sinks. Children love having their own secret staircase from this room which exits into the downstairs utility room, creating an ideal set-up for families with older children as they can have their own section of the house with access to the games and cinema rooms without disturbing the grandparents!

'Cedar' is a delightful room in shades of grey and white with a luxurious king size bed, dressing table, chest of drawers, clothes rail, use of shower room.

The amazing book capital that is Hay-on-Wye is a short drive away too, whether you're visiting for the iconic literature festival or simply to spend hours in the numerous bookstores that line the streets. If you fancy some fresh air, there are plenty of amazing walks, from the Offa's Dyke Way to Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains which lie right on the border between England and Wales. You're also not far from the Shropshire Hills, an AONB and well worth a visit for memorable hikes and strolls.
